The kings did not get screwed by the refs in the lakers/kings playoff series. The kings shot more free throws than the lakers in the lakers/kings playoff series. A lot of people talk about game #6, and say the kings were screwed by the refs. The lakers obviously shot too many free throws in game #6, however, the kings shot more free throws than the lakers in the series. Didn't shaq shoot 1 free throw for the entire game, in one of those games? Shaq was in foul trouble in a few of those games, and shaq fouled out in one of those games. In one of the games, shaq was destroying the kings in the first half, then got in foul trouble and had to sit on the bench for the rest of the first half. The refs were falling for vlade's flopping for the first couple of games in the series, even though the refs knew that vlade is one of the biggest floppers of all time. The refs didn't make the lakers blow about a 24 point lead in game #4. The refs didn't make the kings miss all of those free throws in game #7. The kings had a crappy ft percentage for the entire series. The refs didn't make peja shoot an air ball when he was wide open towards the end of the game in game #7.
The kings were not screwed by the refs in the lakers/kings playoff series. The kings shot more free throws than the lakers. The kings missed their free throws. The kings had a few chances to win the series, but the kings didn't. The kings choked.
